A person in a t-shirt and shorts hangs off a red-painted building above a coastal town and clear blue water. At the bottom left, there a blue rounded-edge box with the CIRES logo and white text: Humans of CIRES: Jianhao Zhang. Research Scientist II at NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL).

For this week's #HumansOfCIRES, meet Jianhao Zhang (@jianhaoz.bsky.social), a CIRES research scientist in NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory. Jianhao studies clouds, he's done research in Namibia, and he loves to play basketball!

Scientists turn to artificial intelligence to assess the warming effect of reduced pollution - NOAA Research The challenge of estimated the cooling effect of clouds has implications for evaluating the effectiveness of marine cloud brightening.

Our recent paper on the impact of the 2020 shipping fuel regulation is highlighted in NOAA Research!

Radiative forcing from the 2020 shipping fuel regulation is large but hard to detect - Communications Earth & Environment Reductions in aerosol cooling as a result of shipping fuel regulations implemented in 2020 led to substantial positive radiative forcing globally, but this change is difficult to detect against a back...

five time series of global mean surface temperature changes starting low and noisy in the 1850s - rising clearly since the 1960s - and showing 2024 was clearly the warmest.

All surface temperature products for 2024 are now live.

All show 2024 is the warmest year (very clearly).

The estimates of the change since the pre-industrial (1850-1900) are more uncertain but range from 1.46 to 1.62ºC.

It is therefore *likely* this was the first year that exceeded 1.5ºC.

2024’s Record-Breaking Heat Brought the World to a Dangerous Threshold. Now What? Global temperatures last year crept past a key goal, raising questions about how much nations can stop the planet from heating up further.
